The Donald
Donald Trump seems
to have had a little
trouble taking his own
advice this week. The
presidential candidate
and Republican frontrunner told people they
should boycott Apple
over the company's
ongoing fight with the
Justice Department,
then kept right on
tweeting from his own
iPhone. As The
Washington Post
points out, Trump
supporters went as far
as accusing people of
Photoshopping the
image to make Trump
look bad.
But, I assure you that as
of this writing you can
look yourself using
Tweetdeck to see that
Trump was using the
Twitter app on an
iPhone earlier this
afternoon. And you can
look at this video to see
Trump calling for the
boycott at a rally in
South Carolina. Only
after he was busted for
breaking his own
boycott in a number of
reports, Trump went
back to Twitter again to
PHOTO BY WIKEPEDIA
say that he uses both
an iPhone and a
Samsung phone.
That tweet was sent
using the Android app,
as have the rest of his
tweets since then.
Apple has been making
headlines since
publishing an open
letter to its customers
on Tuesday to explain
that it would not be
helping the FBI unlock
an iPhone owned by
Syed Rizwan Farook,
one of the San
Bernadino shooters.
"The FBI wants us to
make a new version of
the iPhone operating
system, circumventing
several important
security features, and
install it on an iPhone
recovered during the
investigation. In the
wrong hands, this
software—which does
not exist today—would
have the potential to
unlock any iPhone in
someone’s physical
possession," wrote
Apple's CEO Tim Cook.
I use both
iPhone &
Samsung. If
Apple doesn't
give info to
authorities on
the terrorists I'll
only be using
Samsung until
they give info
